First Day Hike at the Fort

Start your new year off right by participating in Indiana State Park’s traditional First Day Hike at Fort Harrison State Park! We are offering two hikes this year. The schedule will be as follows:

10:00 am First Day Hike #1 – Meet at Delaware Shelter for a 2-mile hike on Camp Creek Trail. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather for this 2-hour long hike. Trail is moderate with some elevation change and tree roots.

12:00 pm-1:00 pm Hot Chocolate and Cookies provided by The Friends of Fort Harrison State Park.

1:00 pm First Day Hike #2 – Meet at Delaware Shelter for a 2 mile walk on the paved Harrison Trace Trail. Dress for the weather!

If you plan to come to the 1:00 pm hike, consider arriving early to enjoy some hot chocolate and treats, as traffic can get backed up at the gate close to the time of the hike.
